Caravan fires can start very quickly

A man has been hospitalised following a fire at an Ollerton caravan park, according to local reports.

The Nottingham Post reported that the incident took place on Sunday evening (8 December) at Forest House Farm Caravan Park, near Back Lane.

It is believed that the fire started in the kitchen of a mobile home and saw fire crews from Edwinstowe, Tuxford and Mansfield called to the scene to tackle the blaze.

Only one caravan was involved in the incident and Nottinghamshire police have said that they are not treating it as suspicious.

There has been no update on the man in question’s condition in hospital and is being closely monitored.

The fire comes after a similar accident in Totnes, which saw a caravan completely destroyed in a blaze which also affected four motorcycles and slightly damaged a second tourer.

Like with the Nottinghamshire incident, police are not looking into the fire and believe that it occurred accidentally.
